CM Punk says that you have changed over the last few years. You dress like a Yuppie on vacation. You have lost your edge. You are not the Raven you used to be. Maybe you have been making 6 figures for too long. How does the underground hero maintain his character by making six figures? All of the drugs and alcohol and your primadonna attitude isn’t what brought you to the dance. Maybe you walk onto my side. Maybe you find straight edge. Maybe you find out why straight edge means I am better than you.

Simon Diamond asks if it is a joke that they will not face Dr. Death and The Sandman. We will face them any time and any place under one condition. CW Anderson says they get to call the shot. You have to face us in singles matches. If you beat both of us, you will get a tag title shot.

Joey mentions that Josh will be making his MLW debut in Orlando.

Joey runs through the card for the show in Orlando.

Raven says he cannot believe that he allowed CM Punk and Michael Shane to drop toe hold him onto a chair not once, but twice. It is his move. Some says he has lost his edge and that he is no longer dark, scary, and dangerous. Let me dispel you of that notion. I have chosen a partner, a man who is timid and he would never associate with for the simple fact that he will have to be twice the man he ever was with him as a partner.

We haven’t begun to lay claim to what we would do. We don’t have to tell you how great we are.
